SHOPS ACT. 1950.
As far as possible inspections have been made of the sanitary accommodation,
and heating and ventilation of shops, and improvements have
been effected as circumstances have permitted. Surveys have been
carried out to ensure compliance in respect of general closing hours,
half day closing and Sunday Trading.
The total number of inspections made for the purposes of this
Act during 1958 was 41.
DISEASES OF ANIMALS ACTS.
No outbreaks of disease occurred within the Borough during 1958.
Copies of Orders made by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Food in respect of outbreaks of foot and mouth disease, anthrax and
fowl pest, were received, but these did not give rise to any enquiries
within the Borough.
Two premises, which are licensed by the Council under the Diseases
of Animals (Waste Foods) Order 1957 for the boiling of foodstuffs for
the feeding of animals, were inspected and found to be satisfactory.
